The Archibald Scholarship

Since 1911 the Archibald Scholarship has supported UQ’s best economics students. The UQ School of Economics is building the Archibald Scholarship into the most prestigious Economics Scholarship in Asia-Pacific.

In 2017 Dr Vince FitzGerald AO completed donations totalling over $80,000 to the Archibald Scholarship. Dr FitzGerald's gift boosts this prestigious award that has launched the careers of many of Australia’s top economists, including Dr FitzGerald himself in 1966.

Please donate to the Archibald Scholarship Appeal. Your gift will help give UQ School of Economics students a real opportunity to fulfil their potential and excel in their studies and their careers.

The history

The Archibald Scholarship was founded in 1911 from a gift from the estate of the late Honourable John Archibald, MLC, an important figure in Queensland’s political landscape and a prominent supporter of the establishment of UQ.

The Hon. John Archibald, MLC, was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1845. In 1863 he migrated to Queensland. He rose rapidly through the business ranks of the fledgling colony of Queensland, eventually owning a large milling enterprise, becoming Mayor of Warwick and sitting on the board of a series of companies.

The Archibald family has other connections to The University of Queensland via two named walkways on the university’s St Lucia campus. Archibald Way leads to the natural amphitheatre between The University of Queensland Club and the UQ Union Building. The dedication was made following a donation made in John Archibald’s name by his daughter Eveline Robertson. A subsequent donation by Mrs Robertson for further landscaping and beautification of the UQ lakes area lead to the naming of the pathway beside the main UQ lake Robertson Walk.
